Reincarnation NPC, but Arknights

She still retained some rationality; she couldn't bring herself to kill Bai Ye, the kind person who had helped the infected.

"You keep nagging and you're so annoying!"

The Kingslayer was completely unresponsive, as Dr. Kal'tsit had said; she was no longer listening to anything and only believed that others were lying to her.

Instead of launching an attack, Bai Ye first activated [Mind Acceleration] and secretly learned some of the King Killer's combat and power generation techniques.

Then he began to endure Lyudmila's violent attacks, which were like a sudden storm.

"Clang—"

The battle has begun! Lyudmila tried her best to break through Bai Ye's defenses. At first, she held back, but she soon realized that even if she went all out, she was no match for Bai Ye.

All her attacks were blocked. The single-edged straight sword in Bai Ye's hands was like a living thing. Although it looked incredibly light, it was as hard as a rock. No offensive method could bypass this seemingly ordinary longsword.

"Fight back! Fight back now! Why aren't you fighting? Are you underestimating me?"

Lyudmila brandished the dagger while crying and shouting.

She vented her pent-up anger on Bai Ye, initially with the techniques of a "wolf," but later it became pure violence.

"That's a good method. Should we use her as a punching bag?" Dr. Kal'tsit raised an eyebrow. She thought Bai Ye would defeat Lyudmila, but Bai Ye was gentler than she had imagined.

He was simply enduring the girl's attacks unilaterally.

Red, standing behind Kal'tsit, stuck out her tongue and made a soft, whirring sound.

She could naturally see that the two sides were far apart in strength.

She had experienced Bai Ye's power firsthand.

Although to outsiders, Bai Ye seemed to be able to fight everyone to a draw.

However, it is only when you actually face him that you understand what powerlessness and despair mean.

"boom--"

In her final attack, Lyudmila's exhausted hand failed to hold onto the dagger that Bai Ye had deflected. The blade flew out of her hand, towards the side of the corridor, and then pierced through a fire hydrant that was being maintained nearby.

"boom!"

The pipe burst, and water gushed out, hitting Lyudmila directly.

"...Oh, this!"

Bai Ye was also dumbfounded, not expecting such a thing to happen.

Exhausted, Lyudmila was swept away by the high-pressure water jet...

Is it ultimately impossible to escape the fate of "slipping"?

Bai Ye scratched his head and put away his weapon.

He first put away the dagger stuck in the water pipe, then ran towards the spot where Lyudmila had been swept away.

"..."

Dr. Kal'tsit didn't know what to say either.

"A world where only engineering department personnel are injured has been achieved..."

Chapter Thirteen: You always manage to come up with something new.

At the end of the corridor, Bai Ye found the exhausted kingslayer.

Fortunately, there are no deep pits here, otherwise the Kingslayer would have been rushed in directly—just like the scripted death that players found in the dungeon.

From "The fire hydrant saved my dog's life" to "The World Killer Cup," players are becoming more and more powerful, and the ways to persecute the king killer are also increasing.

In particular, a player named "You guys are all shills" was the first to discover the scripted kills in the dungeon, which opened up a whole new world for him. He became unstoppable, focusing on using the map and strange methods to kill enemies.

Of course, people's joys and sorrows are not the same. While Bai Ye was still secretly laughing in his heart, the king killer knelt on the ground in despair, staring blankly at Bai Ye.

"Alright, get up. Now, you should be calm, right?" Bai Ye offered her his hand.

“I…” The girl stared blankly at Bai Ye’s outstretched hand, then said helplessly with tears streaming down her face, “I can’t do anything…”

Bai Ye froze.

Girl, what are you saying? Do you want to cheat too?

The password is correct!

Lost in thought, Bai Ye reached out and pulled the King Killer up.

"The rest is up to you, Dr. Kal'tsit."

Bai Ye, carrying the Kingslayer, handed her over to Kal'tsit.

Xiao Hong circled Bai Ye twice, somewhat curious.

She always felt that Bai Ye had been hiding something when they fought last time.

Seeing Hong approaching, Bai Ye smiled and patted her head.

He quite liked this adorable, goofy guy.

Actually, she's not short, but she always seems very young. Moreover, she's not mentally mature; she even has to go to school to learn to read.

As an assassin, there's a sense of style distortion.

I don't know where Dr. Kal'tsit found this child.

It seems that Dr. Kal'tsit has some kind of talent, as she always manages to pick up some strange and unusual operators from the ground.

In some ways, this is much more efficient than Rhodes Island's personnel department.

Meanwhile, Dr. Kal'tsit began to tell the Kingslayer the truth about what happened back then.

It was similar to what Sergei told Bai Ye.

About the sarcophagus, about scientists, about betrayal.

Dr. Kal'tsit didn't seem to mind Bai Ye listening in, perhaps because she knew that Bai Ye probably already knew these things.

“Your hair color is exactly the same as your father’s,” Dr. Kal’tsit said softly, looking at the poor girl.

Bai Ye actually saw a hint of tenderness in her eyes.

I finally met Hoshiguma!

Bai Ye then realized that Dr. Kal'tsit actually possessed motherly qualities, or rather... a fatherly quality?

Amiya, Red, Louisa...

This guy has mentored quite a few kids.

Although she wasn't exactly a good mother, she was still more reliable than Lyudmila's father.

According to Dr. Kal'tsit, the regicide's father showed Junjun "Justice and Justice" when she was five years old...

That doesn't qualify as a bedtime story for children.

Dr. Kal'tsit and the Kingslayer talked a lot about the past, and her story was more detailed and human than Sergei's.

Perhaps because Sergei had always lived in pain, he had deliberately forgotten even the warmth of that period. All he remembered were the sins he had committed and endless regret.

That night, Ilya asked me—if we sealed the sarcophagus and didn't reveal the existence of the mechanical structure inside to Ursus, could we save more people? Could we stop Ursus from using these machines in the war?

“Lyudmila, your father was a great man; his beliefs influenced his entire life. You inherited his fighting spirit, but your father was more than just a fighter…”

Dr. Kal'tsit looked at the Kingslayer and spoke earnestly.

"You...you're not lying? I've seen far too many sorcerers' sweet talk..."

Even though logically speaking, Dr. Kal'tsit was not lying, the Kingslayer still stubbornly asked a question in return.

“I didn’t betray anyone,” Dr. Kal’tsit shook her head. “However, I do feel guilty because I could have saved those young people, but I was too late.”

"Therefore, I regret it very much. In fact, I regret not stopping those scientists in the beginning."

Dr. Kal'tsit sighed.

“I…” Lyudmila lowered her head, unable to utter a single word.

“Even if it were Sergei, I wouldn’t resent him. He’s not a greedy person, but he’s indecisive. His newborn children were in Ursus’s hands, and in order to save his family, he informed the authorities of your father’s whereabouts.”

“I think he is probably still living in pain even now. I don’t believe he is the kind of person who can climb to a high position by betraying his comrades and still feel at ease. The nightmares of the past have been haunting him.”

Bai Ye nodded in agreement.

Dr. Kal'tsit is very good at judging people.

When he first found Sergei, he knew that the man had been suffering greatly.

“But he is stronger and braver than you imagine…” Bai Ye said softly.

He said it very softly.

In fact, he greatly admired the man who had rekindled his courage, and it was precisely for this reason that Bai Ye decided to vindicate Sergei after he had completed his mission.

-------------------------------------

The unexpected farce finally came to an end. Lyudmila wiped away her tears and went to attend her medical examination. This was Bai Ye's original purpose in bringing her here.

"You're causing me trouble again." Dr. Kal'tsit looked at Bai Ye helplessly.

This guy is actually a problem child, bringing all sorts of weird people to Rhodes Island. First, there was a pure-blooded Wendigo, and later even a red dragon from Victoria. Compared to them, Lyudmila's identity is actually quite ordinary.

"I wonder what other tricks you'll pull in the future?" Dr. Kal'tsit sighed.

"Hmm, I don't know either," Bai Ye chuckled to himself.

He couldn't very well say that he planned to join forces with the Reunion Movement to capture the core city of Chernobog, could he?

Then, should we reactivate the sarcophagus, and then come to Rhodes Island to invite Dr. Kal'tsit to once again serve as "Director of the Research Institute"? Bai Ye felt he was truly courting death.

Unfortunately, the player's mischievous spirit gave him a strange sense of tax evasion, and he wished he could reveal his plans to Dr. Kal'tsit in front of her.

No wonder the main villain always answers every question; it's a really great feeling.

Wait, why am I identifying with the villain?

Bai Ye fell into deep thought.

"Listen carefully, the maintenance cost of the corridor fire protection system will be included in your salary." Dr. Kal'tsit's words interrupted Bai Ye's thoughts.

"Huh?!" Bai Ye's eyes widened. "Why? This isn't fair. I didn't break it."

“But you brought these people here, so you have to take responsibility.” Dr. Kal’tsit’s lips curled up slightly.

"Wait, did you just laugh?!" Bai Ye shouted, pointing at Doctor Kal'tsit.

"No."

"I clearly saw it!"

"You saw it wrong."

Dr. Kelsey vehemently denied it.

"How could this happen..." Bai Ye was somewhat helpless. He had never managed to capture a photo of Dr. Kal'tsit smiling, otherwise he would have definitely taught that stubborn old woman a lesson!

"By the way, you'll take her on as a student, right?" Bai Ye changed the subject.

"Why do you say that?" Kal'tsit asked, somewhat puzzled.

Bai Ye pointed to the medical department: "Didn't you stay behind with Louisa and Misha before?"

“No, they’re different.” Dr. Kal’tsit shook her head. “Those two children haven’t really found their direction yet. As for Lyudmila, her eyes are very strong. Perhaps she has something she wants to do.”

"If possible, please also pay a little attention to her."

Dr. Kal'tsit then handed Lyudmila over to White Night.

Bai Ye nodded.

Even if Dr. Kal'tsit hadn't said it, he would have done it anyway.

The Kingkiller will be a cadre of the Reunion Movement in the future, so he will definitely pay a little more attention to her. It's not that he cares about her, but because, as a collaborator, he always needs to keep track of the state of his collaborator.

Chapter Fourteen: Wolves

After causing a ruckus on Rhodes Island, Bai Ye left the Rhodes Island main ship with the Kingslayer the next day and returned to the Ursus frozen land where the Reunion Movement was located.
